I'm not sure translating this story to Pokemon works. A large part of Kafka's metamorphosis and work in general relies on a certain uneasiness and absurdity.
Kadabra can teleport and use psychic powers, so that aspect would realistically not be there.

What the fuck, dude.
>>
>>26960617
Okay,this is so unrealistic. I can buy the premise of a boy being transformed into a kadabra, but a school teacher leaving school to come to their kid's home to check on them because they weren't at school on time is simply too far.
>>
>>26960659
It's literally a one to one adaption of Kafka. The dex entry is a direct reference.
...you're not telling me you haven't read the metamorphosis, you illiterate fucks, right?

I didn't even realize that's what this was. I remember reading that in high school.

Has she never seen a Kadabra before?
A Kadabra is waaay less ugly than a giant vagely humanoid insect
Hell, in some of the panals he is downright cute
>>
>>26960792
The story just doesn't make sense with a Kadabra transformation.
>>
>>26960676
If it was 1:1 then he should turn into a Heracross or something, dipshit, or maybe a Scolipede. The cosmic joke was that Gregor Samsa became something inhuman and whose very existence is offensive to almost everyone (i.e., a big bug). Turning him into a vaguely humanoid creature with psychic powers defeats the entire point of the story. Have YOU read The Metamorphosis recently?

Dropped.

Only 15 fucking days passed. Expensive food or not that makes no sense. Surely a single piece of furniture is worth like a months worth of food. And the work they were doing already should be able to cover bills.

God this is so dumb. Gregor was the ONLY one that worked and his family was s bunch of freeloaders, that's why this plot worked.

God fuck this.

You fucking faggot. It was literally referenced in the Kadabra dexentry. Scolidped WOULDN't make sense.

The Metamorphosis was about a salesman, not a school boy, even assuming you are autistic enough to not realize that was a joke post.

Make a story out of this
>>
I don't know, turning into ANY kind of beast would be enough to make most people treat you like the devil himself
>>
Jesus christ, it was a near adaptation of the novel using Kadabra's dex entry as a jumping off point. Clearly there are going to be adaptational differences, and occasionally logic will be pushed aside to make the story work.
Just enjoy it for what it is.
>>
>>26961342
Honestly it'd be a pretty scary story considering Mismagius is a ghost.

>>26960785
Why did he turn into a Kadabra? There has to be a reason for it. How does this happen? Why did this happen?
>>
>>26960811
Are they trying to Say the universe did it? And they're not going any deeper to explain it other than it's mysterious?
>>
This is terrible
>>
>>26960848
Alright that wasn't bad for being total shit.
When's the story about how a boy who's growlithe evolves into an arcanine and can no longer sleep in the house come out?
>>
>>26960964
Might be that they had to buy a specific kind of pokemon food. Could you keep a Condor?That being said, most fairytales have such lapses in logic.
>>26960849
Might mean that he loses some degree of free will/creativity/personality while still gaining calculative ability, like a computer. After all, the dex says the same of Metagross.

That's the whole idea.
Do you refuse to accept fate in the face of absurdity, and succumb to despair?
Or do you try to prosper despite the idiocy of the situation?

That's insane. I changed my mind. I like the story now.

Why do people think of Mismagius as female again? He looks entirely male or androgyn at best to me.

Sure, but the question is what you'd make of your fate if llife threw you a major and irreversible curveball that divorced you from everything you knew. Would you cling to your distant past or begin anew?
What with how hot blooded your comment was, I'd presume the latter, in which case a winrar is you.

Scolipede would make much more sense, the parallels with the story would be much better.

For its own right, even the Goomy line can offer a nice parallel, with the barely functional limbs Goodra has.

it's a vulture, it literally eats dead meat
but that's not the point, there are lots of trainers keeping 6 or sometimes even more than 6 pokemon seemingly without financial difficulties, almost none of them are rich either, like that fisherman with 6 gyarados
>>
>>26969126
That guy probably just lets them swim in the ocean and eat a bunch of fish

if a humble fisherman can keep 6 huge dragons as a hobby then there is no reason why a couple of 40 year olds can't keep a 4'11" anorexic jew alive
